Chapter 528 If Li Yunlong is really trapped by the Japanese, I, Chu Yunfei, will definitely help him
Taiyuan City, the headquarters of the 12th Army.
Ichiro Kamei, the head of the Telecommunications Section, came to the command room with an excited face and reported in an excited tone: "Commander, after repeated detection by our telecommunications department, we have now determined the approximate location of the enemy armored regiment. It is currently near Qingyuan Town, where a regiment of troops is stationed. Commander, please send troops to support immediately and catch the big rat Li Yunlong."
Shinozuka Yoshio took the information handed over by Kamei Ichiro and checked it carefully. After confirming that the information was correct, he said excitedly, "Yo! The Special High Section has made a great contribution this time. Their intelligence reconnaissance ability is stronger than our air force. I remember that there are often air force patrols around here, but they didn't find anything. I want to see what Sato Ichiro has to say this time."
"Notify all officers to come to a meeting immediately. I need to adjust the previous combat deployment. This time, no matter how much it costs, we must get the lost money back."
An hour later, more than 20 Japanese officers came to the headquarters to attend the combat meeting, and even Sato Ichiro was not absent. When everyone learned that Li Yunlong was hiding near Qingyuan Town, they were shocked and excited at the same time. As long as they could find the exact location of the armored regiment, they were confident that they could destroy it.
Yoshio Shinozuka came to the operations room in high spirits. Without any greetings as usual, he sat directly in the main seat, arranged for everyone to sit down, and started today's operations meeting.
Mitsui Ippei stood up from his seat and said excitedly, "Everyone, the Special High Section has used radio detection technology to find out the approximate location of the enemy armored regiment. All this is thanks to our plague war. If it weren't for the large-scale plague that broke out in the Zhaojiayu base, Li Yunlong's contact with the base would not have been so close, and our intelligence department would not have had the opportunity to detect the approximate location of the armored regiment."
"The headquarters has noted the merits of the Special High Section and will commend them after the war. Let's talk business. After determining Li Yunlong's hiding place, the biggest problem that has troubled us has been solved. Next, we must cooperate sincerely to shorten the scope of the encirclement. In order not to attract Li Yunlong's attention, the encirclement around Qingyuan Town will remain as it is. What we need to do now is to urgently mobilize troops to encircle Qingyuan Town from other places."
"In order to prevent Li Yunlong from breaking out, we need to set up at least three blockade lines and dig trenches and bury mines in large quantities to make the enemy's armored forces lose their mobility. This way, we can easily annihilate them."
"The 16th Flying Division also has a very heavy mission. You must do everything you can to prevent the enemy armored regiment from obtaining ammunition supplies, and you must not allow the enemy armored regiment to smuggle money back to the Zhaojiayu base. You must do this no matter what the cost."
"Operation Rat Catching has now officially entered its second phase. All units must arrive at the designated combat zone within three days. This is the key to the success of Operation Rat Catching. If any unit encounters insurmountable difficulties, they can apply to mobilize transport planes for air transport. In short, all units must arrive before 6:6 on June 24. Violators will be subject to military law!"
Shinozuka Yoshio replied with a serious face: "Everyone, this battle concerns the honor of our 12th Army. We must annihilate Li Yunlong to wash away the shame of our 12th Army. All units must be united in this battle and keep it confidential in advance. The combat mission will be issued in an hour. Except for the commanders of each unit, no one else can access the combat plan."
"In order to prevent Li Yunlong from escaping from Qingyuan Town in advance, immediately order the Kondo Corps to dig up the road for me. Li Yunlong must not be allowed to escape."
"General Sato, you need to withdraw the bombers that are bombing the Zhaojiayu base and prepare to block Li Yunlong's escape. We have only determined the approximate location of the enemy armored regiment, and the error is still relatively large. To ensure that there is no room for error, our air force must be ready to attack at any time. Patrols and searches of the surrounding airspace must not stop. We need to create an illusion for the enemy that we have not yet found their true location."
"I was not thoughtful enough just now. The bombing of the enemy fortress cannot be stopped completely. Half of the bombers must be used to continue. As for the transport planes in our hands, they will be responsible for important tasks. In order to strengthen the strength of the Kondo Corps, I decided to transfer troops from other places by air transport. Within three days, the number of troops stationed in Qingyuan Town must not be less than one brigade. No matter how much it costs, you have to do it for me."
Under the command of Yoshio Shinozuka, the 12th Army acted quickly and a large-scale encirclement operation was launched. Li Yunlong and others who were in the encirclement knew nothing about it. They were still worried about the outbreak of plague in the base, not knowing that they were about to face a life-and-death crisis. If they took a wrong step, the entire armored regiment would most likely be wiped out by the Japanese.
At the Pingyuan County temporary airport, Chu Yunfei looked at the 180 million military pay being loaded into the bomber, and a relieved expression appeared on his face.
"Captain Chu, the old commander thinks highly of you. Not only did he make up for nine months of military pay, he also approved an extra 60 yuan for you to use to purchase supplies. You must not disappoint the old commander's expectations. The old commander really has nothing to say about you, Chu Yunfei. The military pay he gave you was not based on the original establishment, but on the current establishment. This makes many people jealous. After you go back, you must continue to expand the troops. It would be best if you could expand the 358th Regiment into a reinforced brigade with a total of people. This will not disappoint the old commander's expectations."
"Before, the old commander was also ambitious. He mobilized two regiments plus a brigade to reinforce your 358th Regiment and fight a big battle in the northwest of Shanxi. But what no one expected was that the Japanese blockade of the northwest of Shanxi was very tight. The troops fought several times in a row but failed to break through the Japanese blockade. The old commander had no choice but to call off the original combat operations."
"The situation in northwest Shanxi has been stirred up by Li Yunlong's armored regiment. Taiyuan City and Taiyuan Airport have been breached by Li Yunlong's armored regiment, which has made the Japanese 12th Army a joke. I estimate that the Japanese's subsequent revenge actions will be very fierce. You, the 358th Regiment, must not rush forward foolishly at this time. Instead, you must avoid the enemy's edge, seek the right opportunity, and hit the Japanese hard to show the power of our Shanxi Suiyuan Army."
"The old commander asked me to ask you something. Is Li Yunlong going to sell the fighter production line? If he is willing to sell it, the old commander is willing to pay a high price for it. If our Jinsui Army can produce fighter planes by itself, our strength will grow by leaps and bounds. We don't have to stay in the mountains and fight guerrilla warfare anymore. We can launch a full-scale counterattack against the devils and retake the land we have lost!"
"Li Yunlong is not in a good situation right now. Even if he wants to sell us the fighter production line, it will take time to close the deal. The old commander means that there is no rush. The main task of the 358th Regiment is to strengthen its own strength. We must be very cautious in fighting the devils and never start a war out of anger. The devils' combat effectiveness has indeed weakened a lot compared to the past two years, but they are still much stronger than us."
"We can't ignore the Japanese just because we have enough weapons and ammunition. We will suffer a great loss if we do that. The old commander thought that Li Yunlong's attack on Taiyuan City was not a big deal, but he got 40 to 50 million dollars from the Japanese, which touched their sensitive nerves. It will be very difficult to escape from under their noses and return to the base in a short period of time."
"Shentouling is a very critical place. The old commander suggested that our 358th Regiment should find the right opportunity to recapture it. The 358th Regiment cannot hide in the mountains and fight guerrilla warfare all the time. We must come out from time to time to show our faces and let the little devils know that our 358th Regiment is not made of mud, but also has blood."
"As for the drug transaction you mentioned, Captain Chu, the old commander has already agreed to it. He is willing to pay 70% of the market price to buy the drugs from you, Chu Yunfei, and then sell them through the old commander's channels. In fact, the old commander can't make any money from this transaction. I roughly calculated that the old commander can only get half of the profit in the end. Unless the transaction volume is extremely large, it will not be troublesome enough."
"There are some things that I don't need to point out. I believe you, Chu Yunfei, should be very clear about them. The old commander's situation is not as bright as it seems. The Shanxi Suiyuan Army has so many people to support. The autumn mopping-up campaign launched by the Japanese last year brought huge losses to our Shanxi Suiyuan Army. After half a year of rest and recuperation, we have finally recovered." Staff Officer Xu said earnestly.
Chu Yunfei did not refute. He knew that Staff Officer Xu was not lying. The old commander had already done his best for him. If the weapons and ammunition could not be transported, he would have asked him to start replacing his equipment with new ones long ago.
"Staff Officer Xu, I, Chu Yunfei, am not an ungrateful person. When I return to the base, I will immediately start to complete the two major tasks assigned by my old superior. I promise that within a month, medicines worth 50 oceans and a fighter production line will be shipped back to the rear. This is my promise, Chu Yunfei, and it is also my repayment for my old superior's support."
"It is impossible for my 358th Regiment to sit idly by during the war in northwest Shanxi. If the Japanese destroy Li Yunlong's troops, my 358th Regiment will be unable to stand alone. But I, Chu Yunfei, am not stupid. I will not try to hit a stone with an egg. I will look for the right opportunity to help Li Yunlong and will never do anything recklessly!"
